IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as
a bathroom.
2. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,
thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This
could cause a fire.
3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It
may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
5. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting,
pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as
it may cause a fire or electric shock.
6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do
not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may
cause electric shock or fire.
7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is
being charged. It may cause an electric shock or
seriously damage your phone.

Phone Operation
TIA Safety Information
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would
any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and
over your shoulder.
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information
for wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Tips on Efficient Operation
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power
radio transmitter and receiver. When ON, it receives
and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the
phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise needed.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies:
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
phones in the areas where you drive and always obey
them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please
observe the following:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
●
Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your
first responsibility;
* American National Standards Institute; National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
●
●
Use hands-free operation, if available;
Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions or the law
require it.
Those standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.
For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health
agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).
Pacemakers
Antenna Care
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six (6)
inches be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference

place.
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service provider (or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives).
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always marked clearly. Potential areas
may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations);
below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or
metal powders); and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
Vehicles
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place
objects, including either installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also
consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the
safety of wireless phones?
Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it to
your ear.
Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets,
with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away
safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of
radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless
phones before they can be sold, as it does with new
drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if wireless phones are shown
to emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is
hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could
require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify
users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or
recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA

safety questions discussed in this document.
phone industry to take a number of steps, including
the following:
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of
this update?
●
Support needed research into possible biological
effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless
phones;
The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld
wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called
“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable
Radio Frequency (RF) energy because of the short
distance between the phone and the user’s head.
●
●
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any
RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for
device function; and
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones
with the best possible information on possible
effects of wireless phone use on human health.
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety
guidelines that were developed with the advice of the
FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater distances from
the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower
because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with
increasing distance from the source. The so-called
“cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected
to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at
far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures
far below the FCC safety limits.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of
the federal agencies that have responsibility for
different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated
efforts at the federal level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:
●
National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health
●
Environmental Protection Agency
●
Occupational Safety and Health Administration

4. What are the results of the research
done already?

The National Institutes of Health participates in some
interagency working group activities, as well.

results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in
their research methods. Animal experiments
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless

agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF)
energy exposures characteristic of wireless phones
have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be
repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,
however, have suggested that low levels of RF could
accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory
animals. However, many of the studies that showed
increased tumor development used animals that had
been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-
causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop
cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the
wireless phone networks rely upon. While these base
stations operate at higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get
from these base stations are typically thousands of
times lower than those they can get from wireless

know with certainty what the results of such studies
mean for human health. Three large epidemiology
studies have been published since December 2000.
Between them, the studies investigated any possible
association between the use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic
neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland,
leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies
demonstrated the existence of any harmful health
effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However,
none of the studies can answer questions about long-
term exposures, since the average period of phone use
in these studies was around three years.
The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology
Program and with groups of investigators around the
world to ensure that high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important questions about the
effects of exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World
Health Organization International Electro Magnetic
Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An
influential result of this work has been the
development of a detailed agenda of research needs
that has driven the establishment of new research

programs around the world. The project has also
helped develop a series of public information
documents on EMF issues.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
Research And Development Agreement (CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safety. The FDA
provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from
experts in government, industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted
through contracts with independent investigators. The
initial research will include both laboratory studies and
studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also
include a broad assessment of additional research
needs in the context of the latest research
A combination of laboratory studies and
epidemiological studies of people actually using
wireless phones would provide some of the data that
are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be
completed in a few years. However, very large numbers
of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof
of a cancer promoting effect if one exists.
Epidemiological studies can provide data that is
directly applicable to human populations, but ten or

the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features
such as speed dial and redial. Carefully read your
instruction manual and learn to take advantage of
valuable features most phones offer, including
automatic redial and memory. Also, work to
memorize the phone keypad so you can use the
speed dial function without taking your attention
off the road.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and driving do not mix;
they are distracting and even dangerous when you
are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are
talking with aware you are driving and if necessary,

divert your attention from the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number
of hands-free wireless phone accessories are readily
available today. Whether you choose an installed
mounted device for your wireless phone or a
speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these
devices if available to you.

let your voicemail answer it for you.
dangerous situations -- with your phone at your
side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 911 or
other local emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergency.
Remember, it’s a free call on your wireless phone!
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving
conditions or situations. Let the person you are
speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,
your first responsibility is to pay attention to the
road.
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a
perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in
your community. If you see an auto accident, crime
in progress or other serious emergency where lives
are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.

between SAR levels of various phones and at various

This Model Phone Meets the Government’s
Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on
file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
searching on FCC ID BEJLG200C. Additional
information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry

not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing
device manufacturer or hearing health professional
may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean
that the hearing device is relatively immune to
interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone
rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is
considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is
considered for best use.
the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket
01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones
under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988
(HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be
compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC
Act is to ensure reasonable access to
telecommunications services for persons with hearing
disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some
hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants),
users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining
noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise, and phones also vary
in the amount of interference they generate.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2
level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level
rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This is
synonymous for T ratings. This should provide the
hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their
hearing aid with the particular wireless phone.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a
rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing
device users find phones that may be compatible with
their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a
label located on the box.
“Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal
quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing
loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated
phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U
mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with
the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended
by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced
34
in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating
and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19
standard.
